We are changing how we use our website by making it a bit more blog-like. From now on we will be posting work-in-progress updates for the pieces we are designing and building, starting with the current table we are working on in the shop. Along with these furniture updates, we will also be posting about other woodworking-related topics, such as how we make our own tools, how we mill and air-dry our own lumber, how to build any creative or useful jigs we devise, and the techniques we use. The blog will also feature posts on the philosophy of art, design, and the process of design we use to make our furniture.
In order to prime the blogging pump, here are a series of pictures from the current table we're working on. In the future we will update the blog as we are building the piece of furniture so you will be able to see the piece come together. But seeing as this piece is almost done here are a few pictures taken at different times throughout the process.

The shingles roughly laid out on the two leg assemblies.

One of the leg assemblies clamped onto the table top for joinery layout.
The assembly in this picture has no shingles on it yet.
Final pictures of this piece should be online by Friday or so, barring unforeseen difficulties in completing the piece. Also, as you can tell from the photos, the shop has recently been lent an excellent digital camera. This should greatly increase the quality of the photos we post. Thanks Jill :)
